Research Tips for Faculty Research Assistants

This guide supplements training for research assistants for law faculty.

Overview

The Bluebook can be daunting, and I bet no one is perfect at it. Regardless, your professor will likely want you to make your sources comply with The Bluebook--at least enough that a law review editor reading the paper in six months, deciding whether or not to give it a publication offer, thinks it looks good enough. You want it to at least pass as looking like The Bluebook. Additionally, you want to make sure you are giving enough information about a source so that your professor can find it easily. 

Visit this BYU Law Library research guide specifically on The Bluebook for all the tips and tricks: https://guides.law.byu.edu/the_bluebook.
